I always found this frame lovely (have some blue ringle hubs on 517 ceramic for when I will find one such frame ) but I think red parts may clash a bit with it.

blue is possibly a safer choice ( even if often seen)

silver may do the trick also in a more discrete build

Feel free to sell me those wheels if I go blue ( may have to buy two bikes worth of colour to decide, I do like the green pauls to complement the blue I want to capture the early fun aspect of 90's mountain biking, so im going extravagantly anodised,

Congrats with a nice iconic frame incl fork. PLEASE DONT throw on loads of garagequeen jewelry in all colors of the rainbow. A frame like this - in my opinion, deserves to stand out and not beeing suppressed by ridiculous colour trimmings.

"If it was me" - I'll either go for a all black part theme, or plane silver pars, and tan wall tires. Eg all black XTII group or Campag Record OR group.

I here what you say,but equally Fat's had personality which separated them from allot of other bikes at the time

Even the old catalogues show bright colouring which gave them character!
